Nathan Lyon added to Australia 'A' squad

Australia's premier spinner, Nathan Lyon has been added to the 'A' squad for the 2nd Test against the visiting India 'A' team. The off-spinner will get a chance to put his recent work with Muttiah Muralitharan on test during an actual match situation.

Lyon has been training at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane and the Australian selectors felt he could get vital match practise with the national team scheduled to play Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in October.

"Nathan has been added to the squad to give him the opportunity to play some first-class cricket in preparation for Australia's upcoming tour against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in October," Darren Lehmann, the national coach and selector on duty for the Australia A matches, said.

Lyon will link up with Cameron Boyce, the leg-spinner in the second unofficial Test at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane, the same venue as the first Test which ended as a draw.
